Eagles RG Brandon Brooks doing Jiujitsu training despite tearing his Achilles

Brandon Brooks suffered a torn Achilles this week but it hasn’t stopped the Eagles star from putting in the work to keep his body in tip-top shape.

Brooks hasn’t had surgery yet, so he’s still taking part in MMA and jujitsu training with a walking boot, despite the torn Achilles.

In the video, courtesy of ESPN’s Eagles reporter Tim McManus via Ricardo Migliarese of Balance MMA, Brooks looks perfectly healthy while getting his ground and pound on.

Brooks will likely face backlash from some fans, but the injury is what it is and just sitting around won’t help the Eagles All-Pro heal any faster. He’s looking at a nine-month recovery regardless.

Brooks tore his left Achilles tendon while running during a rehab session at NovaCare Complex on Monday.
